- Second quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share were $0.97 in 2024 vs. $0.90 in 2023
- Guidance Range for 2024 Reaffirmed at $4.52 to $4.72 per Diluted Share
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) today announced second quarter 2024 net income attributable to common shareholders of $258 million, or $0.97 cents per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2023 net income of $237 million, or $0.90 per diluted share.
Second quarter 2024 results reflected earnings on increased infrastructure investments driven by strong execution of the company’s strategy. Earnings were positively impacted by higher Ameren Missouri electric retail sales that were primarily driven by warmer spring and early summer temperatures as compared to the year-ago-period. In addition, earnings benefited from new Ameren Missouri electric service rates. These positive factors were partially offset by higher interest expense Ameren Parent, higher operations and maintenance expenses primarily at Ameren Missouri and a lower return on equity at Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution under the new multi-year rate plan. Finally, the earnings comparison also reflected higher weighted-average basic common shares outstanding.
“We delivered strong second quarter earnings resulting from strategic infrastructure investments and disciplined cost control. We continue to see significant opportunity for earnings growth as we focus on meeting our customers’ growing needs for safe, reliable, affordable and cleaner service. Through consistent execution of our long-term strategy, we expect to drive sustainable earnings and dividend growth for our shareholders,” said Martin J. Lyons, Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ameren Corporation.
Ameren recorded net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of $519 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023, of $501 million, or $1.90 per diluted share.
The increase in year-over-year six month earnings reflected increased strategic infrastructure investments and disciplined cost control. Earnings were positively impacted by new Ameren Missouri electric service rates and higher electric retail sales that were driven by warmer spring and early summer temperatures and higher retail sales across all customer classes. In addition, earnings benefited from new Ameren Illinois Natural Gas service rates and rate design. These positive factors were partially offset by higher operations and maintenance expenses at Ameren Missouri driven largely by non-recurring items. Finally, the earnings comparison reflected increased interest expense at Ameren Missouri and Ameren Parent, a lower return on equity under the new multi-year rate plan at Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution and lower tax benefits at Ameren Parent.
Earnings Guidance
Today, Ameren reaffirmed its 2024 earnings guidance range of $4.52 to $4.72 per diluted share. Earnings guidance for 2024 assumes normal temperatures for the last six months of the year and is subject to the effects of, among other things: regulatory, judicial and legislative actions; energy center and energy distribution operations; energy, economic and capital market conditions; customer usage; severe storms; market returns on company-owned life insurance investments; unusual or otherwise unexpected gains or losses; and other risks and uncertainties outlined, or referred to, in the Forward-looking Statements section of this press release.
Ameren Missouri Segment Results
Ameren Missouri second quarter 2024 earnings were $128 million, compared to second quarter 2023 earnings of $102 million. The year-over-year increase reflected earnings on increased infrastructure investments, higher electric retail sales that were primarily driven by warmer spring and early summer temperatures compared to the year-ago-period, and new electric service rates effective July 9, 2023. These positive factors were partially offset by higher operations and maintenance expenses, which reflected the absence in 2024 of the recovery in the year-ago period of previously expensed items approved as part of the June 2023 electric service rate order.
Ameren Transmission Segment Results
Ameren Transmission second quarter 2024 earnings were $79 million, compared to second quarter 2023 earnings of $72 million. The year-over-year increase reflected earnings on increased infrastructure investments.
Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution Segment Results
Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution second quarter 2024 earnings were $61 million, compared to second quarter 2023 earnings of $66 million. The year-over-year comparison reflected a lower allowed return on equity for 2024 under the new multi-year rate plan.
Ameren Illinois Natural Gas Segment Results
Ameren Illinois Natural Gas second quarter 2024 earnings were $6 million, compared to second quarter 2023 earnings of $11 million. The year-over-year comparison reflected rate design impacts from new delivery service rates effective November 28, 2023, which are not expected to materially impact full year results.
Ameren Parent Results (includes items not reported in a business segment)
Ameren Parent second quarter 2024 reflected a loss of $16 million, compared to second quarter 2023 loss of $14 million. The year-over-year comparison reflected higher interest expense.

The following factors, in addition to those discussed under Risk Factors in Ameren’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and elsewhere in this release and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results to differ materially from management expectations suggested in such forward-looking statements:
- regulatory, judicial, or legislative actions, and any changes in regulatory policies and ratemaking determinations, that may change regulatory recovery mechanisms, such as those that may result from any additional mitigation relief related to the operation of the Rush Island Energy Center that may be ordered by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the Missouri Office of Public Counsel’s request for rehearing of the Missouri Public Service Commission’s (MoPSC) June 2024 financing order to authorize the issuance of securitized utility tariff bonds to finance the cost of the planned accelerated retirement of the Rush Island Energy Center, Ameren Missouri’s electric service regulatory rate review filed with the MoPSC in June 2024, Ameren Missouri’s proposed customer energy-efficiency plan under the Missouri Energy Efficiency Investment Act (MEEIA) filed with the MoPSC in January 2024, Ameren Illinois’ December 2023 Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) order for the Multi-Year Rate Plan (MYRP) electric distribution service regulatory rate review that directed Ameren Illinois to file a revised Grid Plan and a request to update the associated MYRP revenue requirements for 2024 through 2027, both subsequently filed in March 2024, and appeal of the December 2023 order to the Illinois Appellate Court for the Fifth Judicial District, Ameren Illinois’ electric distribution service revenue requirement reconciliation adjustment request filed with the ICC in April 2024, Ameren Illinois’ appeal of the November 2023 ICC natural gas delivery service rate order to the Illinois Appellate Court for the Fifth Judicial District, and the August 2022 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruling that vacated the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.

- the impact of negative opinions of us or our utility services that our customers, investors, legislators, regulators, creditors, or other stakeholders may have or develop, which could result from a variety of factors, including failures in system reliability, failure to implement our investment plans or to protect sensitive customer information, increases in rates, negative media coverage, or concerns about environmental, social, and governance practices;

Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events.
